BOOK 1
Leaving the motel, on Highway 74, around 3:00, Marlene wanted to get home before Jerry and Andrew arrived. She smiled as she recalled the past few hours spent with her lover. Pulling into the garage, Marlene parked her Mercedes, brushed her hair, put on fresh lipstick, and rushed into the house. She was relieved to be home before her husband and father-in-law had arrived, and she went into the kitchen, made a pot of coffee, sat down at the counter, and glanced through the morning paper.
When the phone rang, Marlene answered it and said, “Barnes residence. May I help you?” “Now, I know why you’re always late when you come over for lunch!” the voice on the phone said.
Detecting the anger in her mother’s voice, Marlene asked, “What

Jerry is a wonderful husband who provides extremely well for his family. If he is not what you want, then divorce him and marry Frank?” “Mom, cool down. Jerry and I are happy. We will never divorce. Stop worrying about us. I have only spoken with Frank a few times and don’t even know him. I don’t know why he would call my phone, unless he was looking for Lisa,” Marlene said.
“All right, Marlene, please tell me why I see your car parked behind that sleazy motel out on Highway 74, three or four times a week. I keep praying you will straighten up and stop this foolishness before I am forced me to tell your husband.”
“I am not the only one in town with a new Mercedes,” Marlene said, defending her actions, knowing if Jerry ever found out about Frank it would kill him or he would kill her. “You can’t expect me to sit back and say nothing while you destroy your life.”
“Yes, Mom, I expect you to keep your big, fat, mouth shut! I swear I will see you in your grave before I allow you to mess up my marriage. Please, don’t make trouble for me with Jerry. I’ll see you tomorrow,” she said, hanging up the phone as Jerry walked into the kitchen. “Hello, sweetheart,” she said, pouring a cup of coffee and handed it to her husband. “Sweetheart my ass, I’ve been calling you for hours, I wanted you to have lunch with us!” Pausing, Jerry said, “Why in the hell do you need a cell phone? Every time I call, you won’t answer. Either it’s turned off, or the
She had just turned over the supper steaks when the telephone rang. She picked up the receiver. “Hello?” “Mrs. Lewis?”
“Can I talk with you for a little while, Myra?” asked Miranda. “Before we part company, I have something to get off my chest.”
“Good lord, girl. We’ve talked this whole thing to death. You know you’re the only one. Your mom and aunt couldn’t keep a secret if their lives depended on
“Let me remind you that we have a deal, I kept my part of it, and now you’ll keep yours. You are not going to get by with any foolishness.”
“I talked to Inez Romero, Tommy's ex-wife,” I said. “She had a few choice words about your mother.”
Rebecca couldn’t handle it anymore so she decided for them. She said, “Since y’all can’t be mature and decide on who get’s to go, then I’m going to pick for y’all. Bob you're going and Jerry I’m really sorry but I promise you’ll go on another trip with me another time.” Jerry looked at Bob with an evil glare and Bob knew he was up to something bad.
“I prefer you don’t beat the shit out of anything. Relax. What’s going on here? I thought we were cool? I thought we’d decided you were going to leave?”
"What would you say if I told you I would run off and buy that house me and Lennie were always dreaming of?"
Jerry’s mother stops and looks for him and asks if he wants to go to
“If you want to stay alive you shut up!” the man screams. Stacy keeps asking “Where are we going? Why are you doing this?” Putting the car in drive, he tells her, “that’s not your
“Mandy, your dad and I have something we need to talk to you about.” Being the bright-eyed eight year old I was, I would have never suspected what was going to escape my mom’s lips next.
Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare thought to have been first performed in 1606. It dramatizes the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness and death.
The objective of his book is to help provide a roadmap to help bring about change when dealing with people. I found this book to be very interesting and informational. It brought to the forefront that in order to bring about change something, someone or both have to change has to change. The mindset and the environment must be adjusted and leveled out to make change happen. Reading this book gave me the information on making change effective starting with me
I started to freak out, and Jerry overheard me and came up to our seat and said, “Don’t talk about it too loud or he will hear us.”
At my practicum site I have always seen my supervisor and the other councilors go to treatment team meeting but I was never invited to go, so I was interesting and exciting for me to experience that. I also notice how the mental health level six facility I was at have a more in depth group therapy session, however the patients there are younger and they conduct therapy for six hours a day for their Intensive Outpatient Program, so there was more time to cover things. I also noticed how knowledgeable nurse case managers can be about insurance, so that explains why in some positions RNs can apply for some social work or case management
